I love brown cars, but I have an aversion to buying a Datsun. I... I just can't do it. Like Rosie O'Donnell putting down a cup-cake - it just doesn't happen. Their engines and gearboxes are great, but there is something about them I can't bring myself to love. I've been offered great deals on R32 GT-Rs, S13/14/15 Silvias/180SXs, even an RB26-headed 3.0L R31 GTS-R with all the good gear (hint: T04Z), but... it's still a fucking Datsun.

Having had a bit of a muckaround with a VQ30 on a shop floor last night, I'm amazed at how well its built and how light it is: 2 of us could easily carry the long engine. The only problem with this is stopping those waffleswaffleswaffleswafflesish drop bears from getting on the piss and stealing the waffleswaffleswaffleswafflesing thing.

Oh baby, where did our love go...? Oh that's right, into a fucking tree at the hands of the guy who bought it off me.

[DTM190]

Second pic is the one I found, didnt realise it it humped a tree :(

Thank you. waffleswaffleswaffleswafflesery is a form of high art. Would you like to enrol in a course?

[Ian Bowers]

I would, but only if it includes a jar of Vegemite.
